Book: Just Deserts - A Georgian Romance by Elizabeth Bailey

Elizabeth Bailey

about this book: This was my second published historical romance and I wrote it on a typewriter! The idea of fooling the hero, and possibly the reader too, was such fun. But the idea for the book originated when I was driving around the West Sussex countryside and I saw a sign for a horse farm - The Chiddingly Stud. Immediately I was struck with the idea for the book - a horse-mad hero trying to breed a champion racehorse. Lord Chiddingly was born.

Of course I had to give him a similarly fanatical heroine. Newly returned from India with her family, Persephone loves horses above anything else. But it wasn't going to be that simple! Her father might be a nabob with a lot of money, but Seph is in no way the tender, loving potential bride our hero envisages.

A great many headaches and clashes between these two volatile personalities had to be gone through before they could find their happy ever after. And even then, sparks were still going to fly!
